I am not a religious person whatsoever, but everyone should have a right to follow their belief system. This to me seems elementary.

What? That's the worst logic i've ever seen. Not only do Christians deem killing to be wrong, our society and our laws do as well. Hopefully that murderer is only getting a ride in the back of a police car. On the other hand, people DO have the right to drink. They are NOT breaking a law. If that is offensive to a cab driver, fine. But don't expect some special exemption. Either accept you will lose fares, or get another job. Easy. They do have every right to follow their religion. But you can't expect our society to bend over backwards for them to do it.
